Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screenings & Calcium Scoring

These preventative screenings use low doses of radiation to make a series of detailed pictures making it easier to identify the cancer or blocked artery at an early stage so that it can be successfully treated. These scans are non-invasive and only take a few moments to complete.

This high resolution, low-contrast detect-ability scanner has many benefits, some include:

Up to 82% reduced dose.

Up to 100% better spatial resolution.

Up to 135% improved low-contrast detectability.
